New Zealand have confirmed opener Martin Guptill will miss Sunday's trans-Tasman ODI series finale in Hamilton.

Dean Brownlie is set to open the batting against Australia at Seddon Park in the absence of Guptill, who suffered a hamstring injury during NZ's six-run win in the opening chapter of the three-match series.

Black Caps opener Tom Latham isn't expecting too much trouble in making the adjustment to opening with Brownlie, whose last ODI for New Zealand was more than two years ago.

"I played at Canterbury with Dean for a few years, so I know what a high-class player he is," Latham said on Saturday.
